The estimation of the concentration of hydroxyl radical (OH) in the atmosphere is essential to build atmospheric models and to understand the mechanisms of the reactions involved in OH. Although water vapor is one of the most abundant species in the troposphere, only a few studies have been performed for the reaction of OH and water vapor. Here I demonstrate an ab initio study on the complex forming reation of OH with $H_2O$ in the gas phase performed based on density functional theory to calculate the reaction rate and the energy states of the reactant and the OH-$H_2O$ complex. The structure of the complex, which belongs to the Cs point group, was optimized at global minima. The transition state was not found at the B3LYP and MP2 levels of theory. Rate constants of the forward and the reverse reactions were calculated as $1.1{\times}10^{-16}cm^3\;molecule^{-1}\;s^{-1}$ and $5.3{\times}10^9\;s^{-1}$, respectively. The extremely slow rates of complex forming reaction and the resulting hydrogen atom exchange reaction of OH and $H_2O$, which are consistent with experimentally determined values, imply a negligible possibility of a change in OH reactivity through the title reaction.

This work investigated the difference between $Fe^{2+}$ autoxidation-induced and Fenton-type cleavage of pBR322 plasmid DNA. $^{\cdot}OH$ generation reactions in the absence and presence of $H_2O_2$ under various conditions were also investigated. Although both the $Fe^{2+}$ autoxidation and Fenton-type reactions showed DNA cleavage and $^{\cdot}OH$ generation, there were significant differences in their efficiencies and reaction rates. The rate and efficiency of the cleavage reaction were higher in the absence of 1.0 mM of $H_2O_2$ than in its presence in 20 mM phosphate buffer. In contrast, the $^{\cdot}OH$ generation reaction was more prominent in the presence of $H_2O_2$ and showed a pH-independent, fast initial reaction rate, but the rate was decreased in the absence of $H_2O_2$ at across the entire tested pH range. Studies using radical scavengers on DNA cleavage and $^{\cdot}OH$ generation reactions in both the absence and presence of $H_2O_2$ confirmed that both reactions spontaneously involved the active oxygen species $^{\cdot}OH$, ${O_2}^{\cdot-}$, $^1O_2$ and $H_2O_2$, indicating that a similar process may participate in both reactions. Based on the above observations, a new mechanism for the $Fe^{2+}$ autoxidation-induced DNA cleavage reaction is proposed.

Proton transfer reactions and ion-molecule reactions of bifunctional ethanes of $H_2NCH_2CH_2NH_2$, $H_2NCH_2CH_2OH$, and $HOCH_2CH_2OH$ were studied using Fourier transform mass spectrometry (FTMS). The rate constants for proton transfer reactions between the fragment ions and neutral molecules were obtained from the temporal variation of the ion abundances. The rate constants were consistent with the heats of reaction. The fastest proton transfer reactions were the reactions of $CH_2N^+$, $CHO^+$, and $CH_3O^+$ for $H_2NCH_2CH_2NH_2$, $H_2NCH_2CH_2OH$, and $HOCH_2CH_2OH$, respectively. The $[M+13]^+$ ion was formed by the ion-molecule reaction between $H_2C=NH_2 ^+$ or $H_2C=OH^+$ and the neutral molecule. The major product ions generated from the ion-molecule reactions between the protonated molecule and neutral molecule were $[2M+H]^+$, $[M+27]^+$, and $[M+15]^+$.

The OH($X^2{\Pi}$, ${\upsilon}^{\prime\prime}=0,1$) internal state distribution following the reaction of electronically excited oxygen atom ($O(^1D_2)$) with cyclo-$C_3H_6$ has been measured using laser-induced fluorescence, and compared with that following the reaction of $O(^1D_2)$ with $C_3H_8$. The overall characteristics of the OH internal energy distributions for both reactions were qualitatively similar. The population propensity of the ${\Pi}(A^{\prime})$ ${\Lambda}$-doublet sub-level suggested that both reactions proceeded via an insertion/elimination mechanism. Bimodal rotational population distributions supported the existence of two parallel mechanisms for OH production, i.e., statistical insertion and nonstatistical insertion. However, detailed analysis revealed that, despite the higher exoergicity of the reaction, the rotational distribution of the OH following the reaction of $O(^1D_2)$ with $C_3H_8$ was significantly cooler than that with cyclo-$C_3H_6$, especially in the vibrational ground state. This observation was interpreted as the effect of the flexibility of the insertion complex and faster intramolecular vibrational relaxation (IVR).

The geometries and isomerization of the alkylidene silylenoid $H_2C$ = SiLiF as well as its insertion reactions with R-H (R = F, OH, $NH_2$) have been systematically investigated at the B3LYP/6-311+$G^*$ level of theory. The potential barriers of the three insertion reactions are 97.5, 103.3, and 126.1 kJ/mol, respectively. Here, all the mechanisms of the three reactions are identical to each other, i.e., an intermediate has been formed first during the insertion reaction. Then, the intermediate could dissociate into the substituted silylene ($H_2C$ = SiHR) and LiF with a barrier corresponding to their respective dissociation energies. Correspondingly, the reaction energies for the three reactions are -36.4, -24.3, and 3.7 kJ/mol, respectively. Compared with the insertion reaction of $H_2C$ = Si: and R-H (R = F, OH and $NH_2$), the introduction of LiF makes the insertion reaction occur more easily. Furthermore, the effects of halogen (F, Cl, Br) substitution and inorganic salts employed on the reaction activity have also been discussed. As a result, the relative reactivity among the three insertion reactions should be as follows: H-F > H-OH > H-$NH_2$.

CaO의 첨가량에 따라 $CO_2$가스를 불어넣고 반응시간 변화에 따라 용매로 $C_2 H_5 OH$을 사용하여 에틸렌글리콜을 첨가한 CaO-$C_2 H_5 OH$-$CO_2$계의 기.액반응으로부터 비정질 $CaCO_3$의 합성과 결정구조를 전기전도도, X-선회절 및 주사전자현미경으로 조사하였다. 이 반응에서 900ml의 $C_2 H_5 OH$에 에틸렌글리콜 100ml를 첨가하고 CaO의 양을 10~40g으로 하여 $CO_2$가스를 1$\ell$/min의 유속으로 흡입시켜 얻은 합성분말의 겔형 물질을 신속히 여과, 감압하의 $60^{\circ}C$에서 건조하여 1${\mu}m$이하의 구형 vaterite상과 무정형인 비정질 $CaCO_3$을 얻었다. 그리고 비정질 $CaCO_3$의 일부는 중간생성물로서 연쇄형 calcite로 변화하는 것을 알 수 있었고 침강성 $CaCO_3$의 생성보다 먼저 초기 반응생성물은 비정질 $CaCO_3$이었고 이 경우 생성역역은 pH 7-9의 범위로 상당한 영향을 준다. 또한 비정질 $CaCO_3$은 용액 속에서 불안정하여 용해반응으로 인해서 결국 calcite로 결정화한다. 특히 비정질 $CaCO_3$은 CaO-$C_2 H_5 OH$-$CO_2$계의 반응에 의해서 침강되어 생성되거나 또는 gel상으로 된다.

이 연구에서는 1기압 298 K 기체 상태에서 페난트렌에 두 개의 OH 라디칼이 연쇄적으로 작용하여 페난트렌이 분해되는 반응 과정을 B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) 기저함수를 사용하여 DFT 계산을 수행하였다. 계산 결과 두 개의 OH 라디칼이 연쇄적으로 페난트렌에 작용하는 경우에도 phenanthren-9-ol 생성 반응이 phenanthren-1-ol 생성 반응보다 유리할 것으로 예측된다. 한편 OH 첨가와 H 추출 과정에 대한 우선성은 상온에서 OH 첨가 과정이 유리할 것으로 예측되었다.

본 연구는 압연공정에서 발생하는 폐수 중에 함유되어있는 난분해성 COD 물질을 $80{\mu}m$ 두께의 극세사 형태로 제조된 Cu-Zn 금속합금의 산화 작용으로 인하여 발생하는 OH 라디칼을 이용하여 처리하는 방법에 관한 기초 연구이다. OH 라디칼은 유기화합물(RH) 속에 포함된 수소를 수소추출반응(H Abstraction) 또는 탄소와 탄소(C-C)의 불포화 결합에 첨가됨으로써 빠르고 비 선택적인 반응을 수행하는 것으로 알려진 것처럼 난 분해성 유기화합물의 처리에 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 금속합금 반응 물질은 극세사 형태로 표면적이 넓어서 1회 처리만으로도 수용액의 pH를 평형에 도달하게 하여서 반응 효율성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. COD처리 효율은 중성 pH에 가까운 pH 7, pH 6에서 최고치를 보였으며 산성분위기인 pH 5이하 및 알칼리성 분위기인 pH 8이상에서는 낮은 효율을 보였다. 실제 압연 폐수의 응집 침전을 이용한 COD 처리에서도 redox 반응장치의 유무에 따라 2배 이상의 처리효율의 차이를 보였다.

CaCO$_3$ powders were synthesized by aqueous solution reaction of CaC1$_2$ㆍ2$H_2O$-(NH$_4$)$_2$CO$_3$ system with NH$_4$OH at 45$^{\circ}C$ and pHs 8, 9, 10, and 11 and in the concentration range of 0.1∼5 M and its polymorphism, morphology and size were investigated. In order to investigate the influence of pH on nucleation, pH was adjusted before and after reaction respectively. When pH was adjusted after reaction a formation ratio of vaterite was increased with increasing pH and concentration but vaterite was formed with calcite. But, when pH was adjusted before reaction, the formation rate of vaterite was increased with increasing pH and concentration. resulting in a phase-pure vaterite with a spherical shape and 2∼5 $\mu\textrm{m}$ in size. It was found that solubility of alkaline vaterite was decreased with increasing OH- ions in the high pH solution. When pH was adjusted before nucleation in the high concentration range, in particular, decreasing of solubility disturbed transformation of initially formed numerous vaterite to calcite.

Numerical simulations of counterflow non-premixed $CH_4/C_2HCl_3/Air$ flames added 8%(by volume) C2HCl3 on the fuel side are conducted at atmospheric pressure using a detailed chemical reaction mechanism in order to understand the effect of strain rates. A detailed sensitivity analysis is also performed in order to assess the relative influence of each reaction on the flame established at a strain rate of 200s-1. The structure of flames (i.e., temperature, velocity, and concentration of species) established at both a strain rate of 150s-1 and 300s-1 are investigated. As the strain rate increases, the "flame zone" is restricted to a narrower range and the position of maximum temperature is shifted to the fuel side. The concentrations of major species, H2O, CO, H2, HCl, Cl2, and Cl are decreased with increased strain rate. The reaction involving chlorine, CH4 + Cl $\rightarrow$ CH3 + HCl, instead of the reaction, CH4 + H $\rightarrow$ CH3 + H2 influences the consumption of methane. C2HCl3 + OH $\rightarrow$ CHCl2 + CHOCl and HCl + OH $\rightarrow$ H2O + Cl, are major reactions, through which OH radicals are consumed.
